[Rapunzel is hoping that she's texting the right number. Despite it having his name there and everything... Because what are phones? WHO KNOWS. But she's also hesitant to send this because two) what is texting etiquette? When is it polite to text? Or rude to?]

I hope this reaches you okay, Nisaka! This is Rapunzel, by the way, I hope that when you get this it isn't at a bad time. But I was wonderin

Rapunzel

[ ah.

it actually takes nisaka a few minutes to respond to this, and this time not because of his terrible habit of checking his phone. these days, there's not that much to do around ol' hell school, so he finds himself attached to the device more often than he would be back home, but now he sort of wishes he hadn't paid attention, since she'll likely be expecting at least some kind of answer.

and, truth is — he's not sure what kind to give her.

he's spoken to her a few times, of course. mostly because of class, a handful of times from passing each other in the halls or courtyard. she seems nice enough (actually, probably too nice), but conversations were almost always cut short by him because he simply didn't know how to react to her. he's still getting used to having ''''''friendships'''''' with girls... frankly, he's a little afraid of fucking up somehow.

but he can already practically see that disappointed look on her face, so— ]

thanks
that's really nice of you
i meant it when i said i didn't know how to cook or bake though
i'd pretty much be starting from zero
if it's too much trouble you really don't have to teach me

[Whereas with Rapunzel this thing is so new that she's constantly checking after every chirp it makes, just to make sure she's not missing anything important. Which...when it gets lost in her hair is pretty hard for her to find. Especially if the beeps are inconsistent!

Still, Nisaka is right, she's practically waiting by the phone - or strangle holding it, really - while she waits for him to answer. Which brings other etiquette questions to mind: how long do you wait before texting again? Is it impolite to text again before they respond? Really, she needs to find someone to go over these silly things. Other than how to use them.

And if he's going to fuck up, at least she's likely to forgive him for any faux pas?]

Oh, it's not too much trouble at all! I would love to help someone learn how to cook or even bake! Baking, I think, is a lot easier than coo

king anyway. At least in some ways... And if you don't want to do the actual baking part, I still wouldn't mind your company? Warm, fresh co

(3/3)
okies straight out of the oven are the best thing in the world.

[ the thing is, he just can't understand why she would want his company.

—or, no. that's not entirely accurate. he isn't blind, not like yukari is; he's had enough of these experiences before to know why a girl usually wants his company and attention...

he likes rapunzel a lot. she's one of the kindest, warmest people he's ever met, and possibly even more awkward than yukari and himself combined.

he doesn't want to hurt her or let her down. ]

you're really kind

[ he's not used to this. most of the time, when things get to this point, he just tries to avoid the girl as much as possible.

but he can't do that to her. she doesn't deserve that... ]

can i ask you something?

[Because he was a nice, friendly smile. Because he made an effort despite being uncomfortable around her at first. And that means - at least to her - that he wants to attempt to get better at things. And he's helping her get a little bit better herself. Better at being normal. Kind of.

She smiles at the response.]

(1/2)
Thank you, Nisaka. I find that if you're kind to others, they're usually kind back to you.

Of course you can ask me something. Whatever is on

(2/2)
your mind?

[ it's awkward. everything about this is awkward. and, normally, he'd rather not have asked. he would have just liked to leave it alone, pretend it's nothing until he somehow can't anymore.

but that's never proven very fair for the other person involved...

and so he takes a deep breath and— ]

do you like me?

[For a few moments she doesn't respond. Then it comes in a flood of texts.]

Of course I do! You're a wonderful friend and you've helped me out a lot! I mean if I didn't care for your company I probably wouldn't invite you to make cookies, right? Though I would try to be your friend anyway, I don't see the point in making enemies here, after all.

[You have to be more direct about the other kind of "like," she's a Disney princess after all.]
